Would players like iEchoic or that spanishiwa guy count? They introduced new and unique styles to play their race. | ||

MKP created the tempo based, pure marine timings, focusing on micro. On the other hand, Jinro was the first Korean based Terran actually going for macro games. His style basically became the standard, and led to continued Terran dominance after MKP's pushes looked figured out, most notably being adopted MVP in his various GSL successes. Recently, MMA has caused shockwaves with his hyper aggressive, drop based TvZ, with only one player looking capable of matching him, DRG. While the drops have not been adopted as readily by Terran's at large, the constant aggression has become the standard to contain Zergs, displayed by SCfou in his series against DRG and Nestea. Feel free to put it in the OP  | ||

They introduced new and unique styles to play their race. I dont like 1 time shoot off players being included. Hes not a trendsetter if hes a one time thing. Same thing for Jinro. I don't think going against the norm and deciding to play macro just because 90% of code S terrans were scv alling(thebest/bitbybit) makes you a trend setter. Although i'm surprised nobody even mentioned Adelscott. He's probably up there with Genius in terms of trend setting. Also TlO kinda for terran. Hes kind of like the Kiwikaki of terran. | ||

Not in the same fashion of tempo based pure marine attacks. Or at least he was not doing those in televised GSL matches. MVP was more just pre-splitting at a tank based position, not splitting pure marines vs speedling baneling. | ||
